'Hermione, me and Laura-li are gonna have to go,' said Kim, looking at a sleeping Draco.
'Ok,' Hermione said with a slight laugh.
Hermione walked over to the door with a sleeping Liam in her arms, and waved Laura-li and Kim off.
She walked back into the apartment and put Liam to bed, and picked up the phone to call Naomi, her roommate. 'Hey, I'm staying over at my boyfriends house tonight,' It felt weird saying that, but it was true, he was her boyfriend. Hermione lifted Draco's legs and sat under them, she rested her head on her arm and fell to sleep, Draco looked up, and she looked so sweet when she slept. 'Does she really think of me as her boyfriend?' He whispered to himself.
He picked her up and took her to his bedroom; it was all silver and white. He took of her blouse and stripped her to her underwear, as she had no pyjamas at his place, and cover her up in the furry blankets.
He walked down the corridor to Liam's room; he silently crept in to see if Liam was still asleep, since he was, he walked back into his room, stripped to his boxers and climbed into bed. He pulled Hermione close and he fell asleep with her in his arms.
Hermione was woken by the sound of cars speeding past. She sat up. 'How come I got in Draco's bed? I don't remember coming in here…' She looked under the covers and gasped at what she saw, both of them in nothing but underwear? Did anything happen? Surely not, she would have remembered, she wasn't drunk, and even if anything did happen, it's not a bad thing.
Suddenly the phone rang, she quickly ran through the kitchen, forgetting she was in nothing but underwear. 'Hello?' she said in a hushed tone, as everyone was still asleep. A woman was on the phone, she sounded posh, concerned. 'Hello? Are you the owner of this residence?' asked the woman. 'Um, no, my boyfriend is, would you like to talk to him?' She asked.
'No, may I ask your name?' Asked the woman.
'Miss Hermione Granger, is everything OK miss?'
'Do you know a boy of the name Liam Conroy?' She asked.
'Yes, me and my boyfriend look after him occasionally, he's staying with us at the moment, is anything the matter?' She asked worried, with one hand on her hip.
'Well, actually, miss Granger, I'm afraid Liam's parents were in a fire, we don't know how it was caused, but, I'm afraid his father died, and his mother is in hospital. We would prefer it if you didn't bring him down here, it could cause a lot of distress… could you let Mr. Malfoy know please, we will call you if there are any changes.'
'Oh my- ok' She said with her eyes closed, running her fingers through her hair.
Hermione walked through to Draco's bedroom. She knelt beside his bed and gently rocked him.
'Hunny, we need to talk, it's about Liam.'
Draco's eyes immediately opened. 'Is everything ok?'
'Um, actually no.'
She walked through to the living room, Draco following.
They sat down on the couch. They begin to talk.
'What's up?' He asked.
'Well Liam's parents, they were in a fire, his dad is dead and his mum is… almost… the woman on the phone said not to take him down there unless she begins to get better, but we must explain what's happened.'
'Oh my god!'
Just then Liam walked through in his tyrannosaurus rex pyjamas.
'Um Liam, we have something to tell you.'
Liam had a shocked look upon his face, both of his carers were wearing nothing but underwear. Hermione quickly grabbed a cushion and covered herself up with it, Draco didn't bother.
'Um Liam.' He began.
'Yes?'
'We have some bad news.'
'Yes?'
'Your parents-'
'I know.' He said, tears running down his cheeks.
Draco hugged him tightly, and pulled him up onto his knee. 'It's gonna be ok, everything will be alright. You always have me, and Hermione.'
Draco could feel Liam nodding on his chest.
Draco lightly kissed his head, and hugged him tighter.
Then the phone rang. Hermione got up to answer it. 'Hello?'
'Is this Hermione?' it was the woman from before.
'Yes'
'I'm afraid Liam's mum has died, she suffered from really bad injuries that we could not heal. Please, do you think you and Mr. Malfoy could take care of him, raise him?'
Hermione turned away from the curious faces of the two young men sat on the couch.
I'll see what I can do,' she said quietly.
She pushed the button on the phone and set it down on the counter.
'Bad news,' she said, looking down.
Liam became hysterical. He wouldn't stop crying.
'Draco, we have to keep him, adopt him, I'll go to the agency later.'
He nodded, comforting Liam. Hermione walked into the bedroom to get dressed.
Draco followed.
He closed the door. 'Hermione, what can we do, I can't look after Liam on my own…'
'What are we meant to do?'
'Well, what I mean is, um, well, douwanamoofinitem?
'What?'
'Do you want to move in with me?'
'Oh my, um, yeah, ok.'
They hugged each other, then pecked each other on the lips.
